I flush it both ways after running in sal****er.
First I screw my garden hose into the port on back of engine where it pees during running.
I turn the tap about 1.5 turns open and water backflushers and comes out the intake slots and in the center of the prop.
Then I put the muffs on, open the tap Again and turn the engine on

No problem. Keep boating as long as you can and burn off that 60l gas
tank.
The less you try to store, the less that can go bad.

Enjoy your boat while you can.

Hook it up and come down here if you feel the need to declare a mutiny
on the snow and ice. There are deals on the beach right now and until
Christmas as a general rule. It doesn't really get busy here until
January..

When is best time to visit FL and the Keys? Avoiding extreme humidity and
hurricanes.


My bud lives down there, says April and May aren't so bad...

It is trivial to add it to a LCD display. Command link has plenty of
Gee Whiz info on that display.


Yamaha disagrees with you, in importance. Go argue with Yamaha.

Yeah, it says, "for these sea conditions, this trim sucks.".

My trim technique ... for small outboards and for 52 footers was the
same. I look at the bow angle, I look at the RPM and I look at the
speed over water. Adjust as necessary to optimize for sea conditions.
The trim gauge, (if equipped) meant nothing.

The last time I was in the Keys, it was mid-February and very nice. Warm
but not overly hot days, ocean water warm enough to swim in...
I've been in South Florida in May and June and it was just too hot for
my taste.

November/December is good. Crowds are gone, hurricanes are gone,
water and weather are still warm. We've been to the Keys many times
in January - sometimes very nice, sometimes windy as stink. Early
spring is generally very good getting into March and April before the
summer heat and rain.

Took the Legend Xcalibur out to Grand lake today for some late summer

boating.

Finally got on the water at noon and it was as smooth as silk. Easily

the calmest water we've seen on this lake since I started talking the

Princecraft Yukon out there years ago.

Was such a pleasure zooming along that I had to be careful to keep
the

revs down. I don't think they advise zipping along at 5000 RPM for
too

long.



Stopped just off shore from what we think is hockey player Sydney

Crosby's house and had a light lunch of a banana and cool clear
water.

Forgot the dogs 'GatorAid' water bottle so the wife had to let him

drink from her cup after she was through.



This is the third trip out since I had the trim gauge installed and

must admit that it was money well spent. The upper end of the lake
can

get shallow so I trim the motor up a bit to save bashing the prop on

rocks and it's nice to know where it stands.

A couple of times I strayed into 4 foot water depth and trimmed up,

only to trim down again to speed up in deeper water.

No such problem in the larger lower portion which has 150+ depths.

Saw a few fishermen out there but only talked to one old guy at the

ramp who hadn't caught anything.

The HummingBird 170 indicated lots of fish in certain areas. Might

have to get a license, file down the barb and try some catch &
release

next year.



Beautiful day, and tomorrow and Saturday should be the same but a bit

cooler than todays 25C.





Catch and release? Catch and eat is the humane way to fish.



By the way there is a trim limit switch on your setup. You can use
that

switch to trim to the *safe* upper limit and any position between that

and full down trim.y it Be aware that the gauge is less than accurate

and you risk tearing your bellow if you rely on it.

Doesn't he have an outboard? What bellow?



You too?

I responded too quickly. Didn't see the others. Just making sure you

haven't lost all your marbles.





Maybe I have. Somehow I never associated the need or desire to have a

Well, aren't you special!
Someone must like them...lots of models for sale.

If you need training wheels as Greg said.
